You Look Through Me: Chapter 6
Eddie's P.O.V:
Eddie sat at the piano bench in complete silence thinking about the sudden visit from Loren. He didn't play a single note or even touch the keys, he just sat there smiling like an idiot. He didn't even notice the locks clicking to open the door. In walks, 3 month girlfriend Vanessa Monroe.
She had come in quite quietly thinking she'd disrupted his slumber, only to find him smiling like he just won 2-million dollars.
"Hey Ed," he must of stayed lost in his thoughts because he still didn't answer, "Earth to Eddie. Woohoo."
Eddie finally noticed her walk in and leaped up to greet her.
"Hey babe! I didn't think you'd be home till next week?"
"Well they delayed the movie shoot because apparently the whole studio got flooded and it will take maybe a month to clear it out."
"That sucks, but I'm happy you're home." He said with a sincere voice. He pecked her on the cheek and went to grab her bags in the doorway.
15 minutes later..
"Is that everything?" Vanessa had about 5 bags laying in the doorway, and atleast 10 bags waiting downstairs. He plopped the bags on the floor upstairs and sat down on the bed.
"That's it I promise," Vanessa gave Eddie thankful smile and walked over to kiss him on the cheek. She walked over to the bathroom and Eddie laid down.
Grabbing his attention, "Hey, I'm glad to be able to walk in and know you'll be there to greet me." She smiled her dimpled smile and walked in the bathroom and closed the door.
That statement left Eddie with a lot to think about. He wanted Loren more than words can explain but his present was only 10 feet away. He could break up with Vanessa, but what good would that do because he would have no explanation for doing so and Loren is in a relationship.
I just need to sleep it off, all my decisions could become clear in the morning.

Eddie had a meeting with Jake at 11:00 am that morning and since last night he really didn't want to get out of bed. Knowing that he had to, he rolled over to see Vanessa's peaceful face laying asleep on the pillow. For a second he pictured Loren's face lying next to him. He shook his head and got up to take a quick shower. When he got out, Vanessa was already up and putting on walked over to her.
He kissed her on the lips and looked at her questioningly. Still holding her, " Where are you going today?"
"Wherever you're going. Is it bad that I want to spend time with you after getting home 7 hours ago?"
"No,not at all. It's just that I'm just going over to Jake's office because he wanted to talk to me about something. I wanted to ask you, but I remembered that you don't like Steven."
"Well, I'm not there for Steven,am I," she asked rhetorically.
"The car will be here in 30 minutes. Just letting you know."
The car arrived just in time and they hopped in. What Eddie didn't know is that Loren had a meeting with Kelly at the same time. She also was bringing Ricky along. They arrived at the office at 10:55 giving them enough time to say hi to Kelly before going in. When they got into her office, Kelly was chatting away and didn't notice Eddie and Vanessa come in. He saw a brunette girl sitting next a guy who he recognized was Ricky Short. When Eddie saw Ricky, he automatically knew who the brunette was. He instantly regretted stepping into Kelly's office at that point. Everyone in the room turned to look at him.
"Hey Eddie," Kelly said. Everyone got out of their seats to greet him, except Loren, who stayed seated and she looked down to her lap.
Ricky was the second to say hi to Eddie and shake his hand, and when he went to greet Vanessa, he looked at her a little to long. When Eddie noticed this he pulled her waist to him tighter and Ricky walked back to sit next to Loren.
"What are you guys doing here?" Kelly said in a cheery voice. She directed the conversation to Eddie to avoid awkwardness.
"We just came to talk to Jake about something, but stopped in here first to say hi." Eddie smiled his million dollar smile and his eyes averted to Loren.
"I need to step out for a moment," Loren jumped out of her seat and ran to the hallway avoiding any suspicion from anyone.
Eddie, still holding on to Vanessa,"Well I'll let you guys continue, I'll talk to you later Kel." Eddie said this with a sad smile. Him and Vanessa walked out and left the door open. Loren wasn't back yet, but something was telling him to go check on her. He sat Vanessa down in Jake's office and excused himself. He saw Loren in the hallway crying.
"Loren, what's wro-" He was cut off by a forceful kiss by Loren. The kiss went on longer than it should've, because they didn't notice the elevators open and Jake walk out.
"What the hell is going on here!" Jake exclaimed.
